Need to get back into reading. Usually read horror literature and Russian works. But regardless, tell me your favorites !

I read both mistborn and a large part of the stormlight series, though the latter I never finished because books were still coming out at the time. The first Mistborn book is great and can in my opinion even be read standalone if you don't want to commit to a whole series. I also just finished Yumi and the Nightmare painter which I found pretty good. I wished Sanderson would put out a second book to the Rithmatist

Gentleman Bastards and the First Law Series are two more series that I've had on my readlist for quite some time now. Kingkiller chronicles I remember also finding pretty good back when I read it, though I am a bit miffed that it still isn't a finished series.

The Licaniud Trilogy is the one with the book "The will of the many"? If so that's anothet series on my readlist. I am starting to think we have a pretty similar taste in books ;D
